Detailed Description
Register Description
The MAX2121 includes 12 user-programmable registers
and two read-only registers. See Table 1 for register
configurations. The register configuration of Table 1
shows each bit name and the bit usage information for all
registers. Note that all registers must be written after and
no earlier than 100µs after the device is powered up. The
VCO autoselection circuit is triggered by writing to regis-
ter 5. Thus register 5 should be the last register to be
written in order to ensure proper PLL lock.
